About
Founded in 2007, Bad Day is a quarterly arts and culture publication based in Toronto, that focuses on Canadian and International artists. The name is meant to subvert a negative concept through the positive impact of art; good things are found in the pages of a Bad Day.

Like a suitcase packed in a rush halfway through a long journey, this strange and thought-provoking issue was put together under the sign of diversity – diversity in terms of cultures, countries, gender, politics, styles and art forms (ranging from water colouring to woodcut engraving, VJing and book designing). Margherita Dessanay looks at how the language of film has influenced that of fine art painting, and Astrid Stavro looks at the idea of gender equality in our creative industries (stopping to talk about this with female designers as influential as Paula Scheer, Marieke Stolk of Experime…) -Elephant

The fifth issue which takes a hide and seek peek into the rose tinted, summer filled hours of our childhood. Expect to find poems about worm eating school children, horror filled sleepovers, school toilet hierarchy and old wives tales. Featuring work from some of the finest contemporary poets and illustrators working today, plus interviews with Polarbear, Peepshow Collective, Murray Lachlan Young and Mr Bingo.

About
Popshot is a bi-annual British based art publication that champions contemporary poetry and illustration. Gently intent on hoodwinking poetry back from the clammy hands of tweed jackets and school anthologies, Popshot looks to celebrate the poetry of today and tomorrow with the whimsical arms of illustration wrapped tightly round it. We are of the thought that the future of poetry is even more exciting than the past.
Each issue of Popshot contains a collection of poems written to a theme. These selected poems are individually sent out to a collection of illustrators who illustrate the poems according to their interpretation of the piece. These illustrations are then bound together with the poems to create a beautiful volume of literary and artistic goodness.
Popshot is published twice a year in April and October.

ISSUE 2: ’Nothing’s dead if it’s done right‘ available now.

AboutThe White Review is a quarterly arts, culture and politics magazine, published in print and online, and established on a non-profit economic model. Issue 1 is available now in bookstores everywhere and available by subscription. The website is updated with new, usually web-only content several times each week.
Edited, designed and defined by an emergent generation of London-based writers and artists, the magazine is creating a space for a new generation to express itself unconstrained by form, subject or genre.

The name – The White Review – is a reference to La Revue Blanche, a Parisian political, literary and artistic magazine which ran from 1889 to 1903. Politically,La Revue Blanche fought against the injustices of its time. In addition to defending Dreyfus as early as 1898, La Revue Blanche also denounced the evils of colonialism and the Armenian genocide amongst other events of political significance. It stood at the forefront of the avant-garde artistic scene, notably promoting the neo-Impressionists and Art Nouveau. Toulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard, and Vuillard were amongst the artists who illustrated La Revue Blanche, which also kept up to date with the wider artistic scene.

On the literary front, La Revue Blanche’s record is equally as impressive. In addition to publicising the ideas of major thinkers such as Nietzsche, Tolstoy, and Stirner, the journal played host to a new generation of major writers and thinkers with Marcel Proust, André Gide, Léon Blum, and Guillaume Apollinaire all contributing early writings.

The White Review is following in the footsteps of La Revue Blanche by providing a platform for a new generation of writers, thinkers, and artists to break through in an otherwise saturated industry. By offering a combination of unpublished fiction, essays on the arts and politics and long interviews with significant individuals in their fields, The White Review is reviving the spirit of La Revue Blanche, with its attendant openness to new ideas, art, literature, and radical politics. -The White Review
